I did similar. I asked for double my previous salary, figuring that's absurd. They told me that's too low for the position, so they gave me 5 grand more than what I asked for. Clearly I could have gotten substantially more.

But the way I look at it is I got a very high salary that I wasn't expecting, and the company feels like they got a deal. Win - win situation, right?

A friend in high school helped me install a counter strike server on linux on an old desktop. From there, I experimented with hosting some forums and an upload script to save files remotely. In the days way before the cloud was a thing. That got me interested enough to start figuring things out and get into it.

They are both of interest but for completely different and unrelated reasons.

Well, my neuroscience professor told us the story where he served on a jury that related to brain injury. He thought it was odd they didn't have a problem with him.

As an aside, the defendant's expert witness explained some findings of 2 men, Santiago Ramón and Cajal. He then questioned to himself how much of an expert the witness was if he didn't know that Santiago Ramón y Cajal was the name of a single man.

This is it. If you want reasonably healthy but filling. You can add nuts, fresh or dried fruits, honey or maple syrup for some extra sweetness. Of course it's as healthy or unhealthy as you make it.

That humans use 10% of our brains. We use 100%. Intelligence is correlated with the type of brain matter present.

I have the same issue. I use multiple accounts across different servers, and get a different subset of comments across each one. Not sure the solution right now.
